Be More Curious:

Questions are powerful because they create change

Whether it’s your fi rst foray into investing or you’re exploring your options for the future, curiosity through questioning gives rise to understanding and confi dence. The Plymouth branch of Charles Stanley Wealth Managers are here to encourage more questions, so we can provide more answers.

When our curiosity is triggered, we think more deeply and rationally and come up with solutions that are more creative. Questions are powerful because they empower someone to create real change. Taking an active interest in planning your finances – from ensuring you are up to date with tax exemptions and allowances to planning for retirement – can maximise your income and boost your overall wealth. This is one are that using your innate curiosity really can transform your life. How much do you really save each year? Where are you spending too much? Am I borrowing money in the most effi cient manner? Do you know what your maximum ISA allowances is this year? What about Junior ISAs – or JISAs – for your children or grandchildren? Will this be a tax effi cient way to help future generations? How much will good fi nancial planning save from the taxman when my inheritance is eventually distributed to those I love? You should be confident asking questions – even if you think you are at risk of being seen as lacking knowledge. As the old Chinese proverb goes: “He who asks a question remains a fool for five minutes. He who does not ask, remains a fool forever.” Sometimes, we ask questions simply to start a conversation – it is the endpoint of these conversations that produce a transformative course of action. Never be afraid to ask questions – however basic – as these will add fuel to your curiosity. The more you question, the more your knowledge and understanding grows. This means you are better prepared for the future to delve into your future planning more deeply. Columbia University in the US cited four basic rules of questioning in its journalism course. They are as follows: • Prepare carefully, familiarizing yourself with as much background as possible. • Establish a relationship with the source conducive to obtaining information. • Ask questions that are relevant to the source and that induce the source to talk. • Listen and watch attentively. Being curious about your fi nancial future today can help you feel confi dent about tomorrow, by giving you the peace of mind that your fi nances will be robust and secure.

With your free fi nancial health checklist, we’ll help you:

• Take advantage of your available allowances and exemptions • Ensure you have control of all your fi nances • Ensure your money is working in the right way to give you the retirement you want Contact the team today to get your free copy: plymouthbranch@charles-stanley.co.uk
